JESUIT   RELATIONS. 


\\i 


In  the  year  sixteen  hundred  and  twenty-five,  three  Je- 
suit Priests  and  two  lay  brothers  arrived  in  Canada,  to 
announce  the  gospel  to  the  Heathen.  Hitherto  the  Indian 
knew  the  white  man  only  as  a  trader,  prepared  to  circum- 
vent, or  as  an  armed  adventurer,  ready  to  oppress  him. 
For  almost  the  first  time  he  now  saw  Europeans  enter  his 
forests,  whose  words  were  peace  and  love,  whose  arms 
were  a  breviary  and  a  crucifix,  and  whose  trade  was  to 
suffer.  Without  comprehending,  he  could  not  but  admire 
the  courage  with  which  the  new  comers  bore  the  privations 
of  the  desert  and  the  hardships  of  the  climate  ;  and  he  was 
finally  won  to  listen  to  the  strange  men's  stranger  doctrines, 
by  the  patience  and  self-abandonment  with  which  those 
who  taught  them  surmounted  the  severities  to  which  they 
were  exposed. 

The  new  Missionaries  had  only  mastered  a  knowledge 
of  the  language  of  some  of  the  nativ^  tribes,  when  the 
colony  fell  into  the  hands  of  the  English,  and  their  labors 
were  arrested.  Whei.,  however,  the  country  wa?  restored, 
by  th^  treaty  of  St.  Germain  en  Laye,  to  the  French,  the 
fathers  renewed  their  labors,  and  continued  to  apply  them- 
selves to  their  original  design  with  a  devotedness  which 
has  won  for  them  universal  respect,  and  under  difficulties 
sufficient  to  appal  the  stoutest  hearts. 


JESUIT  RELATIONS. 


Tlie  nomadic  race  which  was  to  be  subjected  to  the  in- 
fluences of  the  gospel,  inhabited  the  country  extending 
from  the  Island  of*  Anticosti  to  the  Mississippi.  The  sec- 
tion south  of  the  St.  Lawrence  was  occupied  by  the  Mic- 
macs,  the  Abcnacjuis,  and  the  Ktchemins  ;  to  the  north 
dwelt  the  upper  and  lower  Algoncjuins,  or  Montagnais  ; 
west  of  Montreal  and  north  of  the  great  Lakes  were  loca- 
ted the  Outawacks  or  Ottawas,  and  the  Hurons ,  whilst 
the  Iroquois,  or  confederated  Five  Nations,  occupied  the 
country  from  Lake  Erie  on  the  west  to  Lake  Champlain 
on  the  east,  and  from  the  head  waters  of  the  Susquehan- 
nah  and  the  Delaware  on  the  south  to  the  St.  Lawrence 
on  the  north. 

Such  a  field  could  not  but  afford  abundant  material  to 
the  reflecting  mind  and  observant  eye.  New  men  and  an 
unknown  country;  new  languages  and  strange  manners; 
all  were  to  be  studied,  analysed,  explored  and  noted 
down,  and  every  favorable  circumstance  and  event  were.; 
at  the  same  time,  to  be  taken  advantage  of,  to  wean  the 
wild  inhabitants  from  their  wandering  ways,  and  draw 
them  insensibly  to  the  practices  of  civilized  life. 

Fortunately  the  early  Jesuit  missionaries  were  men  of 
learning  and  observation.  They  felt  deeply  the  import- 
ance of  their  position,  and  whilst  acquitting  themselves  of 
the  duties  of  their  calling,  carefully  recorded  whatever 
they  saw  novel  in  the  country  or  in  its  inhabitants.  We 
are  thus  made  acquainted  with  the  actual  condition  of  the 
aborigines,  and  enabled  to  trace  distinctly  the  causes 
which  led  to  their  gradual  though  natural  disappearance 
from  this  continent. 

The  establishment  of  new  missions  necessarily  led  to 
the  exploration  of  the  surrounding  country.  In  this  man- 
ner the  Jesuits  became  the  first  discoverers  of  the  greater 
part  of  the  interior  of  this  continent.  They  were  the  first 
Europeans  who  reached  the  Atlantic  shores  of  the  State 
of  Maine,  from  the  St.  Lawrence  by  way  of  the  Kennebec. 
They,  it  was,  who  thoroughly  explored  the  Saguenay ;

discovered  Lake  St.  John,  and  led  the  way  overland  from 
Quebec  to  Hudson's  Bay.  It  is  to  one  of  them  we  owe 
the  discovery  of  the  rich  and  inexliaustilde  Salt  Springs 
of  Onondaga,  an  event  so  unexpected  by  the  Dutcli  of 
New  Amsterdam,  that  they  pronounced  it  "  a  Jesuit  lie," 
when  informed  of  the  fact  by  Father  Le  Moyne.  Within 
seven  years  of  their  second  arrival  in  Canada,  they  had 
completed  the  examination  of  the  coimtry  from  Lake  Su- 
perior to  the  Gulf,  and  founded  several  villages  of  Chris- 
tian Neophytes,  on  the  borders  of  the  Upper  Lakes. 
Whilst  the  intercourse  of  the  Dutch  was  yet  confined  to 
the  Indians  in  the  vicinity  of  Fort  Orange,  and  "five 
years  before  Elliot  of  New  England  had  addressed  a 
single  word  to  the  Lidians  within  six  miles  of  Boston  har- 
bor, the  P^rench  missionaries  planted  the  cross  at  Sault 
St.  Marie,"  whence  they  looked  do^^'n  on  the  Sioux  coun- 
try and  the  valley  of  the  Mississip})i.  The  vast  and  un- 
known West  now  opened  its  prairies  before  them ;  the 
Wisconsin  and  Fox  Rivers  are  discovered ;  the  Illinois 
country  and  its  various  tribes  are  visited,  and  f"  lally,  in 
1673,  the  Jesuit  Marquette  crowned  the  labors  of  lis  >rder 
and  his  age,  by  the  discovery  of  the  Father  of  ^'  s — 
the  mighty  Mississippi. 

Brilliant  as  were  the  benefits  conferred  on  the  cause  of 
geographical  science  by  these  humble  men,  the  patience 
they  exhibited  under  suffering  and  torture,  whilst  laboring 
to  christianise  the  Indians,  must  arrest  our  admiration,  as 
it  confers  on  them  more  enduring  glory.  In  the  invention 
of  new  cruelties  the  savage  seems  to  have  exhausted  all 
his  ingenuity.  The  Mohawk  was  preeminent  among  his 
felLws  in  this  field,  and  his  country  is  accordingly  dis- 
tinguished in  Catholic  annals,  as  "  the  Mission  of  the 
Martyrs." 

Whilst  preaching  the  go.?pel,  and  exploring  the  country, 
the  Jesuit  Fathers  did  not  overlook  the  necessity  of  pro- 
viding the  means  of  education  for  the  rising  youth.

public  eye,  had  not  yet  been  founded  when  Rene  de 
Roliaut,  u  Jesuit  priest,  eommenecd  the  ereetion  of  a 
college  in  Quebec.  To  the  gr(;at  and  abiding  disgrace 
of  tiie  English  government,  this  ancient  and  venerable 
building  has  been  converted  by  it  into  a  soldiers'  barrack ! 

The  object  of  this  paper  is,  however,  less  to  describe 
the  labors  of  those  missionaries  than  to  render  their  An- 
nals more  familiar  to  the  historical  student.  These  are 
printed  in  forty  duodecimo,  or  small  octavo  volumes,  under 
the  title  of  ^*  Relation  dc  ce  qui  s'est  passe  en  la   Noiivellc 

France  es  annees "     Sometimes  the  title  runs: — 

"  Relation  de  ce  qui  s'est  passe  de  plus  rcmarqnable  aux  Mis- 
sions dcs    Peres  de   la  Comjmgnie  de   Jesus   en  la    Nouvelle 

France^  cs  annees "     They  ext(?nd  from  1 G32  to 

1672.  Of  their  merit,  Charlevoix  pronounces  the  follow- 
ing opinion: — "  As  those  Fathers  were  scattered  among  all 
the  nations  with  which  the  French  were  ui  relation;  and 
as  their  missions  obliged  them  to  enter  into  the  affiiirs  of 
the  Colony,  their  memoirs  may  be  said  to  embrace  an 
elaborate  history  thereof.  There  is  no  other  source  to 
which  we  can  apply  for  instruction  as  to  the  progress  of 
Religion  among  the  Savages,  or  for  a  knowledge  of  these 
people,  all  of  whose  languages  they  spoke.  The  style  of 
these  llelations  is  extremely  simple ;  but  this  simplicity 
itself  has  nou  contributed  less  to  give  them  a  great  celeb- 
rity, than  the  curious  and  edifying  matter  they  contain."* 
No  historian  can  enter  fully  into  an  investigation  of  the 
circumstances  attendant  on  the  first  settlement  of  this 
country,  without  being  conversant  with  them,  and  those 
wlio  pretend  to  acquit  themselves  of  such  a  task  without 
previously  studying  these  works,  afford  only  a  proof  of 
their  unfitness  for  the  duty. 

In  proportion  to  their  great  value  is  at  the  same  time 
their  great  scarcity.  A  complete  sett  is  not  now  to  be 
found  even  in  the  Royal  Library  at  Paris.t     Southey,  at

less  vohimc  eleven.  Bohn  purchased  this  lot  for  seven 
pounds,  seven  shillings  and  six  ponce  sterling.  Uodd, 
I  am  told,  is  ol'opinion  thnt  some  of  the  volumes  have  been 
suppressed,  as  the  information  they  contained  did  not 
accord  with  that  transmitted  to  the  government  by  mili- 
tary or  other  officers.  This  opinion  is,  however,  not 
substantiated  by  any  evidence. 

The  order  in  Canada,  as  in  other  countries,  had  for  its 
head  a  Superior  to  whom  the  Missionaries  at  out-posts 
regularly  reported.  The  Superior  reported  annually  to 
his  Provincial,  and  these  reports  constitute  the  Jesuit 
Relations.  The  following  persons  filled  the  office  of 
Superior  from  1626  to  1673  :

Father  Noyrot  was  drowned  off  the  coast  of  Acadie,  in 
1629;  and  the  following  notes,  though  not  as  full  as  I 
should  wish,  furnish  information  regarding  the  lives  and 
career  of  the  other  Superiors,  which  possibly  may  be 
interesting : 

Paul  Le  Jeune,  who  may  be  considered  as  the  Father 
of  the  Jesuit  Missions  in  Canada,  though  not  the  earhest 
Jesuit  Missionary,  was  born  in  the  year  1592.  He  studied 
Philosophy,  in  1625,  at  the  College  of  La  Fleche,  and 
Theology  at  Paris;    and  made  such  rapid   advance  in

learning  that  he  was  soon  after  chosen  Superior  of  the 
Seminary  of  Dieppe.  He  had,  from  an  early  period, 
entertained  the  desirt  to  be  sent  to  Canada  to  preach  the 
gospel  to  the  Savages,  but  it  was  not  until  1632,  that  his 
wish  was  gratified.  On  the  14th  May  of  that  year,  imme- 
diately after  the  ratification  of  the  treaty  of  St.  Germain, 
he  sailed  with  Father  Noue  from  Honfleur,  and  arrived  at 
Quebec  on  the  4th  July  following.  He  passed  his  first 
vvinter  among  the  Savages,  in  whose  privations  and  wants 
he  patiently  participated,  and  soon  succeeded  in  acquiring 
a  thorough  knowledge  of  their  language,  which  enabled 
him  to  compose  in  the  Indian  tongue,  a  catechism  for  his 
neophytes.  In  1634,  he  established  a  mission  at  Metahe- 
rotttse,  now  called  Three  Rivers,  and  preached  in  1635 
Champlain's  funeral  oration.  He  acted  as  Superior  of  his 
order  in  Canada  until  1639,  and  continued  a  laborer 
among  the  Indians  until  1650,  when  he  returned  to  France, 
where  he  became  Superintendent  of  Foreign  Missions. 
So  highly  respected  was  he  by  those  in  authority,  on 
account  of  the  solidity  of  his  learning  and  the  purity  of  his 
character,  that  Anne  of  Austria,  the  Queen  Mother,  ex- 
pressed a  warm  desire  that  he  should  be  chosen  first 
Bishop  of  the  country  in  which  he  had  been  seventeen 
years  a  missionary.  The  rules  of  his  order,  however, 
forbade  this,  and  he  died  in  France  in  the  year  1664,  at 
the  age  of  seventy-two  years.  He  contributed  nine  vol- 
umes of  Relations. 

Barthelemy  Vimont,  fellow  student  with  Le  Jeune 
at  La  Fleche  and  Paris,  expressed  equally  early  a  strong 
desire  for  the  Indian  Missions,  but  it  was  not  until  1629 
that  he  was  able  to  leave  France  to  accomplish  the  object 
of  his  wishes.  The  vessel  in  w'hich  he  sailed  for  Canada 
made,  in  its  voyage,  a  descent  on  Cape  Breton,  for  the 
purpose  of  expelling  the  English  from  that  quarter,  and 
having  succeeded,  left  Father  Vimont  with  a  garrison 
there.     He  did  not  arrive  at  Quebec  until  1639,  on  the

4th  of  May  of  which  year  he  sailed  from  Dieppe,  accom- 
panied by  several  missionaries  and  religious  ladies.  His 
passage  was  stormy  and  dangerous,  the  ship  in  which  he 
had  embarked,  having  only  nar  wly  escaped  being 
crushed  by  an  iceberg.  He  landed  in  Quebec  the  follow- 
ing August,  and  succeeded  Le  Jeune  as  Superior  of  the 
order  in  Canada.  Whilst  filling  this  office,  he  assisted 
(1644)  at  making  a  treaty  with  the  Five  Nations  at  Three 
Rivers,  on  which  occasion  he  gave  the  savages  a  most 
sumptuous  entertainment.  Shortly  afterwards,  he  returned 
to  France  to  obtain  an  additional  supply  of  missionaries 
and  religious  ladies,  with  whom  he  sailed  from  Rochelle 
on  27th  May,  1648,  and  arrived  in  Canada  19th  August. 
He  acted  as  Superior  from  1639  to  1645,  nnd  whilst 
occupying  that  position  furnished  six  volumes  of  Relations. 
He  is  stated  to  have  died  in  June,  1658,  but  of  the  correct- 
ness of  the  statement  I  have  no  means  of  judging. 

Jerome  Lallemant,  brother  of  Charles  Lallemant, 
one  of  the  first  missionaries  sent  to  Canada  in  1625,  and 
uncle  of  Rev.  Gabriel  Lallemant,  who  suffered  martyrdom 
with  Breboeuf,  was  born  in  Paris  in  the  year  1593,  and 
entered  the  Order  in  J  610.  After  having  been  professor 
many  years  and  rector  of  several  colleges,  he  went  as  a 
missionary  to  the  Hurons  in  1640,  and  remained  with  that 
tribe  until  1645,  when  he  succeeded  Vimont  as  Superior. 
Whilst  he  held  that  important  office,  he  took  more  than 
ordinary  pains  to  establish  the  Faith  among  the  Five 
Nations.  He  was,  however,  obhged  to  return  to  Europe 
in  1650,  to  represent  the  state  of  the  missions  to  the  com- 
pany, and  then  was  appointed  Rector  of  the  College  of 
La  Fleche.  He  was  not  satisfied  with  this  position.  He 
thirsted  after  the  fields  of  his  former  labors  and  prayed  to 
be  allowed  to  return  to  his  converts.  He  obtained  this 
permission,  at  length,  in  1659,  when  he  proceeded,  in 
company  with  the  Bishop  of  Petree,  a  second  time  to 
Canada,  where  he  became  again  Superior  of  his  Order.

He  died  eventually  in  that  countr}-  on  26th  January,  1673, 
at  the  age  of  eighty  years,  leaving  behind  him  a  high 
character  as  a  sound  and  able  theologian.  With  all  his 
endowments  and  learning,  he  was  a  man  of  simple 
habits,  and  always  preferred  instructing  children  and 
young  converts  in  the  Christian  doctrine.*  He  contribated 
seven  Relations,  besides  five  from  the  Huron  country, 
where  he  was  known  by  the  name  of  Archiendasse. 
He  was  author,  also,  of  several  religious  works,  some 
copies  of  which,  it  is  said,  are  in  this  country. 


Paul  Ragueneau,  who  succeeded  Lallemant  as  Su- 
perior of  the  Jesuits  in  Canada,t  was  born  in  Paris  in  the 
year  1605.  Having  been  sent  to  the  College  of  Bourges 
to  teach  in  one  of  the  lower  schools,  he  had  the  good 
fortune  of  completing  his  studies  there  under  the  direction 
of  Father  Louis  Lallemant,  who  had  the  character  of 
being  the  best  master  that  the  Society  in  France  then 
possessed.  His  progress  now  in  devout  science  is  stated 
to  have  been  incredible,  and  having  been  elevated  to  the 
priesthood,  he  at  once  entreated  his  Superiors  to  send  him 
on  the  Indian  Mission.  His  wishes  were  complied  with, 
and  he  proceeded  to  the  Huron  country  in  July,  1637. 
Three  years  afterwards,  he  was  sent  by  Chevalier  de 
Montmagny  as  ambassador  to  the  Iroquois,  but  he  returned 
to  the  Hurons  in  1644,  5,  with  whom  he  remained  until  1650, 
when  he  conducted  the  remnant  of  that  once  numerous  tribe 
to  Quebec.  After  laboring  for  the  conversion  of  the  Hurons 
and  Iroquois  a  great  many  years,  in  the  course  of  which

Quebec,  the  date  of  Lallemant's  death  is  stated  20th  May,  1668.  This  is  an 
error. 

t  Charlevoix,  i.,  323,  says,  that  Le  Mercier  succeeded  Lallemant  as  Superior  ; 
but  Du  Creux,  who  followed  the  "  Relations  "  more  closely,  says,  the  latter  was 
succeeded  by  Ragueneau.

France,  where  he  was  appointed  Procurator  of  the 
Missions.  His  useful  and  meritorious  life  was  closed  at 
Paris,  on  the  3d  September,  1680,  in  the  sevftnty-fifth 
year  of  his  age.  He  was  a  man  of  wonderful  confidence 
in  God,  and  of  the  most  complete  disengagement  from 
temporal  things.  Of  his  merits  as  a  Missionary,  two  of 
his  fellow  laborers,  Fathers  Joseph  Poncet  and  Francis 
Le  Mercier,  attest,  that  there  was  none  who  labored  more 
in  the  cause  of  Christianity  in  Canada,  or  who  had  better 
title  to  the  name  of  Apostle  than  Father  Ragueneau.* 
Charlevoix  bears  similar  testimony  to  the  usefulness  of 
his  labors,  as  well  as  to  his  experience  in  the  direction 
of  the  Missions.  As  an  author,  he  has  left  a  '•  Life  of  La 
Mere  Catharine  de  St.  Augustin,"  which,  however,  did 
not  meet  with  universal  approbation.  We  have  from  his 
pen  four  Relations  and  an  mteresting  sketch  of  the 
life  and  labors  of  Father 

Jean  de  Brebceuf.  This  celebrated  martyr  was  born 
in  the  diocese  of  Bayeux,  in  Normandy,  on  the  25th 
March,  1593,  of  a  noble  family,  of  which  the  house  of 
Arundel  in  England  is  said  to  be  a  branch.t  Early 
inclined  to  a  religious  life,  he  entered  the  Company  on 
the  5th  October,  1617,  and,  at  the  request  of  the  Countess 
of  Guercheviile,  who  took  an  active  interest  in  the  Jesuit 
Missions,  was  sent  to  Canada  in  1625  by  the  Rev.  Father 
Colon,  then  General  of  the  Order  in  France.  He  was  thus

Champlain.  After  passing  the  following  winter  among  the 
Montagnais,  he  was  sent  in  1626  by  Father  Philibert  Noy- 
rot,  his  Superior,  to  the  Hurons,  to  which  tribe  he  was  the 
first  Jesuit  Missionary.  His  labors  were  interrupted  in  a 
few  years  by  the  surrender  of  the  country  to  the  English, 
under  Kirk.  During  his  sojourn  among  these  Indians, 
he  succeeded,  however,  in  acquiring  so  thorough  a  know- 
ledge of  the  Huron  tongue,  that  he  translated  into  that 
language  Father  Ledesma's  Abridgment  of  the  Christian 
Doctrine,  which  was  subsequently  printed  by  Champlain 
at  the  end  of  his  voyages  in  1632,  with  the  French  on  one 
side.  After  the  restoration  of  Canada,  Breboeuf  returned 
to  that  country.  Anno  1633,  and  proceeded  to  the  scene 
of  his  former  labors  in  1634,  where  the  Indians  gave  him 
the  name  of  Echom.  Two  years  afterwards,  he  wrote  his 
Treatise  on  the  Huron  Language,  which  has  since  been 
translated  by  the  Hon.  Albert  Gallatin,  and  published  in 
the  second  volume  of  the  Transactions  of  the  American 
Antiquarian  Society ;  and,  in  1643,  announced  the  Gospel 
to  the  Neutral  Indians,  in  company  with  Father  Chamonot. 
A  life  of  so  much  usefulness  was  too  soon  cut  short.  A 
party  of  Iroquois  attacked  the  Huron  Village  where  Bre- 
boeuf and  Gabriel  Lallemant,  called  by  the  Hurons 
AtiroHta,  resided  ;  seized  these  Fathers,  and  put  them  to 
death,  under  most  appalling  torments,  Breboeuf  on  16th 
and  Lallemant  on  17th  March,  1649.  Singular  to  say, 
one  of  the  principal  butchers,  a  Mohawk  chief,  named  la 
Ccndre  Chmide,  or  *'  Hot  Ashes,"  embraced  Christianity 
afterwards,  and  evinced  great  zeal  in  atoning  for  his  crime, 
and  few  missionaries  made  more  converts  than  he  among 
the  savages.  He  was  subsequently  killed  in  1687,  in  the 
Seneca  Country  fighting  along  side  the  French  under 
Denonville  against  the  Five  Nations.  Breboeuf  was  in  his 
fifty-sixth  year  when  he  received  the  crown  of  martyrdom, 
and  is  saitl  to  have  converted  over  seven  thousand  souls 
during  the  fifteen  years  that  he  was  on  the  Mission.  Two 
Huron  Relations  are  all  that  appear  from  his  pen.     His

letters  as  the  translator  of  Lucan's  Pharsalia,  and  the 
author  of  various  other  works. 

Francois  Joseph  Le  Mercier,  came  to  Canada  in 
1635,*  and  proceeded  immediately  to  the  Huron  Country, 
where  he  was  known  by  the  name  of  Agochirjidaguctc. 
He  spent  three  years  with  this  tribe,  and  succeeded  Ra- 
gueneau  xs  Superior  in  1653.  Being  anxious  to  establish 
the  faith  at  Onondaga,  he  resigned  this  office  before  his 
three  years  had  expired,  and  accompanied  Capt.  Dupuis 
and  his  colonists,  as  a  missionary  to  their  new  homes  at 
the  Salt  Springs.  The  materials  within  my  reach  for  a 
biographical  sketch  of  this  father  are  unfortunately  very 
few.  He  became  Superior  again  in  1664,  and  seems  to 
have  filled  that  office  until  1670.  The  volumes  of  Re- 
lations which  he  contributed,  are  particularly  interesting 
for  the  information  they  give  of  the  western  country. 
They  contain,  perhaps,  the  earliest  notice  extant  of  the 
copper  mines  on  Lake  Superior,  which  attract  now  so 
much  of  the  public  attention. 

Jean  de  Quien  (or  de  Qubsne)  accompanied  Le  Mer- 
cier to  Canada  in  1635,  and  was  principally  employed  at 
the  Tadoussac  mission.  Being  desirous  to  carry  the  gos- 
pel further  north,  he  proceeded  up  the  Saguenay  and  dis- 
covered in  1652  Lake  Patronami,  now  called  I^ake  St. 
John.  He  became  Superior,  on  Le  Mercier's  resignation, 
in  1656,  and  sent  some  missionaries  to  the  Ottawas,  who 
were  attacked  by  the  Iroquois  whilst  passing  through  the 
Lake  of  the  Two  Mountains,  on  which  occasion  Father 
Louis  Garreau  of  Limoges  was  killed.      De  Quien  has 


*  In  the  list  of  the  Catholic  Clergy  in  Canada,  already  referred  to,  the  date  of 
his  arrival  is  stated  to  be  1650,  but  this  is  a  mistake.  There  are  several  other 
errors  in  the  dates  given  in  that  list,  which  render  it  unreliable  for  the  purposes 
of  this  sketch.

J.  Claude  Dablon  arrived  in  Canada  in  1655,  and 
was  selected  immediately  to  visit  Onondaga.  He  re- 
turned to  Quebec  the  following  year  for  additional  aid, 
and  though  he  had  experienced  great  suffering  in  his 
voyage  down  the  river,  he  accompanied  Father  Le  Mer- 
cier  and  Capt.  Dupuis  to  the  Salt  Springs.  Owing  to  the 
conspiracy  of  the  Indians  this  settlement  did  not  take  root, 
and  Dablon  again  returned  to  Quebec.  In  1661,  he 
attempted  in  company  with  Father  Dreuillettes,  to  pene- 
trate to  the  Hudson's  Bay,  overland  from  the  Saguenay. 
But  tlie  approach  of  the  Iroquois  prevented  him  getting 
any  further  than  the  head  waters  of  the  Nekouba,  100 
leagues  distant  from  Lake  St.  John.  In  1668,  he  was 
stationed  at  Sault  Ste.  Marie  with  Father  Marquette,  and 
in  1671,  whilst  the  latter  was  engaged  in  the  discovery 
of  the  Mississippi,  he  explored  that  part  of  Wisconsin, 
which  lies  south  of  "La  Grande  Baie"  (now,  by  misap- 
phcation  of  the  French  term,  called  Green  Bay);  ascend- 
ed the  Fox  river  to  Lake  Winnebago,  and  preached 
among  the  Pottawatoraies  and  neighboring  tribes.  Hr 
was  recalled  to  Quebec  in  1672,  3,  and  is  stated  to  have 
died  on  the  9th  February  1680.  The  last  two  volumes  of 
the  Relations  were  sent  to  Europe  by  him.  They  are  of 
more  than  ordinary  value  on  account  of  the  geographical 
information  they  contain  relative  to  the  country  north  of 
Quebec  and  west  of  the  Great  Lakes. 

The  contents  of  the  volumes  thus  furnished  by  these 
missionaries  are,  as  may  be  anticipated,  most  varied. 
Those  who  have  not  the  work,  may  form  some  opinion  of

i'  name  for  the  Hudson  River  was  O'iogue  ;  and  for  Lake  George,  Andiatorocte, 
which  means  "  the  place  where  the  Lake  narrows" — (La  oil  le  Lac  se  ferine) ;

ihe  Apostle  of  the  Abenaquis.  P.  Ragueneau  contributes  a  Huron  Relation, 
which  is  the  most  interesting  portion  of  the  volume,  as  it  furnishes  valuable  geo- 
g'-aphical  information  relating  to  the  Great  Lakes  (^Superior,  Huron,  or  la  mer

New  Sweden,  where  the  Europeans  "  think  more  about  trading  for  peltries  than 
instructing  the  savages."  Altogether  ihis  volume  aflbrds  evidence  of  habits  of  ob-

This  vol.  is  also  divided  into  3  parts  ;  the  Jirat  of  which,  relates  the  arrival  of 
Count  Frontenac  in  Canada,  and  gives  an  account  of  the  Huron  and  Iroijuois 
missions  ;  the  aecond,  those  of  the  Lower  Algonquins,  and  of  the  Hudson  bay, 
with  a  journal  of  an  overland  voyoge  from  the  Saguenay  to  that  bay.  The  third 
part  contains  a  biogrophical  sketch  of  Mde.  de  la  Peltrie,  foundress  of  the  Ursu- 
line  Convent  at  Quebec,  also  an  account  of  the  death  of  La  Mere  de  I'lncarna- 
tion,  Superior  of  that  establishment.  The  map  embraces  lakes  Superior,  Huron 
^  and  Illinois,  (now  lake  Miclugan,)  and  is  republished  in  Bancroft's  U.  S.,  vol.  IIL 

I  Though  considerable  efforts  have  been  made,  to  secure 
a  complete  series  of  these  books,  they  have  as  yet  been 
unattended  with  success,  and  perhaps  no  volumes  are 
more  scattered  through  divers  libraries  than  these  Rela- 
tions. This  circumstance  has  rendered  it  more  difficult 
for  the  student  to  consult  them.  In  the  hope  of  deter- 
mining what  volumes  are  accessible,  and  where  they  are, 
I  have  entered  into  an  extensive  correspondence,  the 
result  of  which  is  to  be  found  in  the  following
